Scripture is God breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
This week we will memorize…
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me
to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
—Luke 4:18–19

Amen
Amen Lord
I used today as Grace Day to catch up on Friday’s reading. Oh humility… I don’t think I’m a prideful person, but lately I feel like I am!
.
Today’s verses (especially 19) were written JUST for me, it seems. May I ask for prayer for me, please? I have mentioned before that my speech and balance have not been good, and I feel like it has gotten worse. I have gone to different docs, and really think I’ve got negative thoughts in my head that are making me feel “less than”. I do not feel like a hypochondriac, but I feel like the docs I’ve seen in the past think, that I am. (On paper and with bloodwork and vitals, etc. I am a picture of health.) Please pray for wisdom, especially, on how to proceed. I vacillate between “pushing the issue” with my health (via testing) and seeing a Christian counselor. I don’t know what to do, and it makes me feel lonely. (My husband doesn’t “get it”.) My speech and balance issues are exhausting and embarrassing. They make me not want to do things socially, but I do and push myself to do so, sometimes.
.
Thanks for your prayers.
Adrienne, I am praying for this to be resolved! Be strong in the LORD and be of good courage – you and me! ❤❤❤
So sorry for your troubles. Prayers for wisdom and discernment for you and your medical team.
Praying Adrienne, for answers and healing. I can’t imagine how frustrating that would. Praying the Holy Spirit would guide you to the right person for answers.
Have you seen an ENT? I have Ménière’s disease which affects my balance since the disease affects the inner ear. Also, when I have a flare up my speech is affected as it’s hard to get my words from my brain to my mouth.
I was going to come back and ask that same question, but didn’t know if that would affect speech, too. So glad you shared!!! ❤❤❤
“…to proclaim release to the captives…”
Asking God to free me of the anxious thoughts that bind me this morning! There are committee responsibilities before me in service to our congregation at worship today. We are beginning the stewardship season at our parish & there are significant dollars to be raised in support our ministries for the year ahead. I pray by the hands of God we do good works to encourage grateful giving. All things come from Him. And from His own may we extend resources generously, joyfully, graciously in return. Amen & Amen!

Claiming release from captivity in worship and communion with my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus ! What a privilege !
❤ Sure is!
It was HARD to get up! BUT, when I think about meeting you all here, I get up!
Happy Sunday!
I’m a little lazy this morning and wish I could stay home, plus it’s SO cold! 46 degrees (brr…), BUT I’m greeting and must get dressed and GO!
I made great time getting to and from Monterey yesterday and BEAUTIFUL weather, warmer than here. We hung out at one of our favorite coffee shops while she worked on homework for two-hours. I didn’t mind, because I was with her!
I am so glad you had that special time and safe travel! ❤
A radio program quoted some lyrics from “My Jesus I Love Thee” and I thought of you— MY JESUS! ❤️
So glad you got to visit your daughter, Mari❤️
Missing in person worship today as precaution before procedure but wilk join in online and in my heart.

Let’s aim to make music to the Lord in our hearts every day!

Biblegateway Verse of the Day-
Ephesians 5:18b-20 (NLT):
be filled with the Holy Spirit, 19 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. 20 And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 100 fits in with your Ephesians verse:
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
.
My goal is to memorize this one!
Thanks a bunch, B! Fun fact: I memorized Psalm 100 in 4th grade for part of a Thanksgiving program at school. Praying for success as you commit it to memory. I can’t recite it now so I need to learn it again with you. ☺ ❤
❤️❤️❤️
A lady taught be this Psalm through a song when I was a teen. I love this Psalm❤️
❤❤❤
I’m actually spending a little time most memorizing the verse this time. So proud of my self haha!
I attended a Christian healing conference this week
❤️
Haha…Mollie (smiley face emoji) …. I’m doing the same! Happy Sunday!
He has called us all who love and serve Him to live out and proclaim the Good News. As we gather in worship with our church communities today may Jesus be exalted and lifted high, the Good News boldly proclaimed for all to hear. Blessings on your Sunday She’s.
‘I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever.’ Psalm 145:1

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives! Jesus has set us free! So thankful for freedom now we need to walk in that freedom!
Praying for all! Have a blessed Sunday!
Praise Jesus! Praise the 3 in One! Creator, Father, Savior, Counselor….
Amen!
❤️
Thankful Jesus came with a message that was good news instead of one filled with the judgment we deserved. It is sobering to keep in mind when He returns, the message will be bad news for those who rejected Him.
.
May we celebrate that we are in the time of the Lord’s favor with our church family today.
Amen! ❤
